Let's Put a Smile on that Face


Well, that might not be exactly how it will work, but if you live somewhere that is not going to be cloudy tonight, you should definitely go outside and LOOK UP!

Tonight, after sunset, go outside and look to the southwest. There, the crescent moon will form a tight triangle with the visible planets of Venus and Jupiter. No binoculars or telescope needed.

Now it probably won't look like a smile, but if it wasn't overcast here I'd be able to tell you for sure.

It's a one night show only, and an event like this won't happen again until November 18, 2052. Hopefully then it won't be cloudy so I can see it.
